Hi William Harmond; Regarding the sequential revenue slowness being due to no new categories. It seems to me that we should be looking for growth within each category, similar to how bricks and mortar stores compute "same store sales." When AMZN grows into new categories by buying other companies, it costs the company shares or cash. So revenues brought in that way are kind of expensive. The book business grew rapidly for a long time, without any need to offer new categories. If that high growth rate is gone, never to return, the company is in big trouble, as it will never get its sales up to the level where they can begin to make a profit. -- Carl
